    Stud shear strength

    Hello, I'm looking to solve an internal shear strength problem. I have 1/4-20 all thread stud inserted into a cast aluminum part. I can calculate the shear strength of the aluminum. What I need is a website, book, anything that I can give to my boss that can explain the facts on course...

    Determining blower CFM

    No, the plate and all indentification is gone. I know nothing. I have a pitot tube, I'll try that. Thanks.

    Determining blower CFM

    How can I determine the output CFM of a blower? I know the horsepower of the motor, outlet size and fan diameter. What else do I need and how do I figure out the volume flow rate? Thanks.

    Easy Floworks question

    Hello everyone. How can I hide the parameter scale when viewing cut plots or trajectories? On a side note, anyone going to SWW2006? Thank you.

    Aero HP equation

    Does the downforce play a role in aero horsepower? If not, what does it affect?

    Aero HP equation

    Hello all, What is the equation for aero horsepower? I'm trying to calculate the required aero hp to move a hood scoop on a race car. I'm using CFD but the drag force numbers I'm getting are wacky. I'm using Floworks, apply a surface goal to the scoop, apply an equation goal calculating the...

    Floworks locking computer

    Yes, I found this out also. My feature problem was with the shell I created. I had to create a new model and make the shell thicker until Floworks accepted it. Now it runs great.

    Printing multiple drawings

    How can I print multiple drawings without opening each individual drawing? I've got 80 prints I need to print and I don't want to open each one. Thanks.

    Floworks locking computer

    I'm looking forward to hearing what goengineering has to say. I bought a new computer, it's a 3.6 Xeon with 2.0 GB of RAM to run this. My VAR led me to someone who couldn't answer my questions regarding internal flow. Then he led me to someone who has yet to respond to my voicemails. What SW...

    Floworks locking computer

    But the task manager shows that solidworks and floworks are using 0% of the CPU. Is it still running?

    Floworks locking computer

    When I start a new Floworks calculation my computer locks up. I go to the task manager and the system idle process is using 99-100% of the cpu. It always does it when Floworks stores the initial flow. Any ideas? Thanks

    Ideal computer for FloWorks

    What does everybody think the ideal computer would be to run FloWorks? I do mostly external analysis on thin bodies (.085" thick) and the mesh generates around 1,000,000 cells. What computer will do this in a timely fashion? Thanks!

    More Floworks help

    I have had several unsuccessful attempts at obtaining results from my model. My model is not that complex but the CPU time is sooo slow. I'm lucky if I get 1-5 iterations in a 2 to 3 hour period. I've set the gap size at 1 or 2 and reset the computational domain to better fit my model...

    FLoWorks help

    Ok, when I plotted on a 2D plane the flow went through it. I changed the minimum wall thickness to .6 in (it was set at 1.147 ft!!)and that made the difference. I get awesome results, One problem, the time to compute the results is horrible. I set the gap resolution to the minumum and I...
